Senior Research Associate
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract content.
Let's parse the posting:
Job Title: Senior Research Associate (not heading)
Agency: Texas A&M University
Department: Construction Science
Proposed Minimum Salary $40.00 hourly
Job Location: College Station, Texas
Job Type: Temporary/Casual Staff (Fixed Term)
Job Description: "What We Want ..." paragraph.
Responsibilities: bullet list (multiple paragraphs). We'll need to put them in - .
Qualifications: "What You Need To Know" includes Salary: $40/hour. Cover Letter/Resume: ... Other Details: part-time temporary/casual position not to go past 4.5 months.
Then "Qualifications Required Education and Experience: ..." then "Preferred Qualifications ..." then "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities: ..."
Then "Who We Are" description.
Then "Our Commitment" statement.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description paragraph). Responsibilities (list). Requirements? Could be "What You Need To Know" includes salary, cover letter, other details. But we have separate Pay and Schedule sections if present. Pay: we have salary $40/hour. Schedule: part-time temporary/casual not to go past 4.5 months (duration). Could be schedule info. Benefits: not mentioned. So we may not include Benefits.
Qualifications: includes required education/experience, preferred qualifications, knowledge/skills/abilities.
Skills: maybe separate from Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for Skills as separate if content. We have Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities. Could put under Skills heading.
About the role: could be the "What We Want" paragraph.
We also have "Who We Are" and "Our Commitment" maybe could be part of About the role? But they are separate descriptive sections about department. Could be considered "About the role" or maybe we could add a section "About the Department". But only allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to fit content into those.
We could put "Who We Are" and "Our Commitment" under About the role (maybe as extra description). Or we could omit if not fitting. But we should preserve all substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Perhaps we can add a
under About the role that includes the description of the role plus the department info and commitment.
But we must not invent headings. So we can have About the role containing multiple paragraphs: the "What We Want" description, then "Who We Are", then "Our Commitment". That seems okay.
Responsibilities: list.
Requirements: maybe we can put "What You Need To Know" (cover letter, other details) but also maybe required education/experience? Actually qualifications separate. The instruction says we can have Requirements and Qualifications separate. Usually Requirements are mandatory qualifications. Qualifications could be preferred? But we have both required and preferred. We could put required education/experience under Requirements, and preferred qualifications plus knowledge/skills/abilities under Qualifications or Skills. However we also have Skills heading.
Let's decide:
- About the role: includes What We Want paragraph, Who We Are, Our Commitment.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: Required Education and Experience (Bachelor’s degree ... 4 years ...). Also maybe the part-time temporary/casual not to go past 4.5 months? That's more schedule.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (15 years, 2 years inspector, 5 years research, 5 years working with students). Also Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities.
- Skills: maybe we could combine Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities under Skills heading. But we already have Qualifications heading for preferred qualifications. Could also put Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities under Skills.
- Pay: Salary $40/hour.
- Schedule: Part-time temporary/casual position not to go past 4.5 months.
- Benefits: none, so omit.
We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.

Schedule
Part-time temporary/casual position not to go past 4.5 months.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information: The "What We Want" paragraph content: "The Senior Research Associate for the Construction Science Department assists research teams with performing site investigations, collecting field data, and providing inspection training guidance. This person will coordinate with contractors and project owners to visit civil construction sites to collect images, videos, test reports, and other necessary information to develop training materials. In addition to coordination, this person will help students and researchers travel to sites, safely enter and exit sites, and identify necessary construction elements for data collection. Finally, this person will assist with construction material procurement and testing if necessary."
We need to include that in About the role.
Also "Who We Are": "Established in 1946, the Texas A&M University Department of Construction Science has led the way in excellence of construction in higher education. As part of Texas A&M College of Architecture both graduate and undergraduate programs were among the first in the nation to be accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE). With approximately 1,400 undergraduate and 200 graduate students, our department continues to lead the way as one of finest programs of construction education in the nation. We challenge our students, staff and faculty to maintain such standards and we are delighted to have those join us, who can help us in our pursuits. Learn more about us by visiting our website at https://www.arch.tamu.edu/cosc/about/."
Also "Our Commitment": "Texas A&M University is committed to enriching the learning and working environment by promoting a culture that respects all perspectives, talents & lived experiences. Embracing varying opinions and perspectives strengthens our core values which are: Respect, Excellence, Leadership, Loyalty, Integrity, and Selfless Service."
We should include these in About the role as separate paragraphs.
Now Responsibilities list: The responsibilities are given as a series of sentences grouped under headings: "Collect and perform civil construction material testing", "Visits civil construction sites", "Coordinates with project representatives for field sites", "Identify Civil Construction Sites and Active Construction for Training Development", "Review training material for accuracy and practicality". Each has bullet-like sentences. We need to extract each duty as a list item.
Let's list them:
Under "Collect and perform civil construction material testing":
- Obtain civil construction materials for testing.
- Perform necessary lab tests on construction materials.
- Teach research students how to perform the necessary tests.
- Assist students and research teams performing work on civil construction projects or with civil construction materials.
Under "Visits civil construction sites":
- Secures a travel vehicle to take research team members to construction sites.
- Coordinates with research team members schedules to visit construction sites.
- Safely takes research team members to and from construction sites.
- Help research team members gather data, videos, images, etc. while on site.
Under "Coordinates with project representatives for field sites":
- Contact construction project representatives to coordinate site visits and explain the scope of the research work.
- Establish an expected date for the site visit and understand all visit protocols.
Under "Identify Civil Construction Sites and Active Construction for Training Development":
- Reviews civil construction plan sets and pays estimates to determine the scope of work, and which activities are currently active.
- Identify the location of each potential project, the owner, and prime contractor, and find contact information.
- Presents potential projects to the research group to identify field visits.
Under "Review training material for accuracy and practicality":
- Review the training materials produced by the research team for field accuracy and practicality.
We'll put each as - .
Now Requirements: we have required education/experience. Also maybe "Cover Letter/Resume: A cover letter and resume will assist us in our review of your application materials. You may upload them on the application under the CV/Resume section." That's application instruction, which we should remove per instructions: remove application instructions. So we omit that.
Other Details: "This is a part-time temporary/casual position not to go past 4.5 months." That's schedule.
Thus Requirements only includes required education/experience.
Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications list as above.
Skills: Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities list.
Pay: $40.00 hourly.
Schedule: Part-time temporary/casual position not to go past 4.5 months.
Now ensure we don't repeat any info. Also we need to preserve all substantive info: we have included the job description paragraph, who we are, our commitment, responsibilities list, required education/experience, preferred qualifications, knowledge/skills/abilities, pay, schedule.
Check for any other substantive info: Job Location College Station, Texas. Should we include that? It's location info. Not covered in any heading. Could be included in About the role paragraph maybe as a sentence. The location is substantive. We should add it somewhere. Perhaps add to About the role after the description: "Located in College Station, Texas." Or incorporate in a paragraph.
Also Job Type: Temporary/Casual Staff (Fixed Term). That's similar to schedule but we already have schedule. Could mention in schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive info, so we should include location and job type somewhere. Perhaps in About the role we can add a sentence: "This position is located in College Station, Texas and is a temporary/casual staff (fixed term) role."
But schedule already mentions part-time temporary/casual not to go past 4.5 months. Job type is Temporary/Casual Staff (Fixed Term). That's consistent.
We'll add location in About the role.
Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate: we removed EEO, equal opportunity, security-sensitive, criminal history, etc. Also removed instructions to applicants, cover letter/resume instructions, etc.
Now produce HTML.
We need to ensure we use
for each section heading. Use
for prose. Use
- for lists.
We'll output:
